As I mentioned in a previous post, I've been migrating from PATA to SATA. I Installed a 3114 card, updated to uBoot 1.1.4 so I could boot off it. My A1 had been running fine for two weeks on this setup with only 1 small detail missing: the 3114's activity LED Jumpers are at the opposite end of the card and the cable in my case no longer reached.

So today I got hold of some extention cables, plugged them in and finally saw the HD's activity.

Minutes later I got a crash while writing to the drive (encoding a video with ffmpeg). Upon reboot, uBoot couldn't see the Hard drive anymore.

I booted off CD, And no drive icons appeared. The LED Was solid red; thinking it might be causing the problem I powered off and unplugged the extension. On reboot, uBoot could now see my drive, but couldn't boot from it.

I booted off CD again and this time I saw drive icons, but opening them is incredibly slow.

All partitions were SFS/02, except a swap partition. At the moment, I'm leaving it switched on doing nothing, hopefully the drive is rebuilding itself (as my old ide drive needed to do sometimes) but I can't hear any noises and it has been on for several hours now.

Have I paid the price for using uBoot 1.1.4? Have I managed to kill a hard drive after only 3 months (NEVER Buying Western Digital again).

Amigaboot.of is specific to the X1000/Nemo board.If your AmigaOne is an XE or Micro, you have no need for it.

A word about that image:The first time I clicked on it, it displayed with a small advertisement for a wind farm blocking the middle of the picture.Clicking the close gadget on that immediately opened a full page website of questionable integrity.

Fortunately I am not at work, nor in front of any of the grandkids today, but if you're thinkging of looking at the last picture posted, be warned.. Some rather adventurous advertising might catch you by surprise.

Right, i didn't ask about the hardware, sorry...

@Lyle

/off-topicI didn't get that "questionable image" but i'm sure you were stomped by a spam referrer.

If i might give you a hint...install this hostfile from this page (I know it's windows but bear with me)It's a real great little cheat to get rid of all the spam sites, pictures, refererrers and surf even faster.

Easy to do too, simply copy the downloaded "hosts.txt" to "DEVS:Internet/HOSTS" (make a backup first, of course)reboot and start your browser, you will see a lot of broken pictures on formerly spammed sites (those are the spam sites trying to annoy you)

Due to the size of the hosts file the internet preferences program will take some time to load up but it will eventually.I'm using this hosts file since four or five years now and it never let me down (it gets updated from time to time aswell)Best online spam reducer ever
